Elasticsearch requires at least Java 8. Specifically as of this writing, it is recommended that you use the Oracle JDK version {jdk}. Java installation varies from platform to platform so we won't go into those details here. Oracle's recommended installation documentation can be found on http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/install_overview.html[Oracle's website]. Suffice to say, before you install Elasticsearch, please check your Java version first by running (and then install/upgrade accordingly if needed):
